Network model predicts that CatSper is the main Ca2+ channel in the regulation of sea urchin sperm motility
Abstract Spermatozoa sea urchin swimming behaviour is regulated by small peptides from the egg outer envelope. Speract, such a peptide, after binding to its receptor in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus sperm flagella, triggers a signaling pathway that culminates with a train of intracellular calcium os...
